Dual Power
"Dual Power" (Russian: Двоевластие, tr. Dvoyevlastiye) was
a term first used by Vladimir Lenin,[1][2][3] although conceptually
first outlined by Pierre-Joseph Proudhon,[4] which described a
situation in the wake of the
February RevolutionFebruary Revolution in which two powers,
the workers councils (or Soviets, particularly the Petrograd Soviet)
and the official state apparatus of the Provisional Government
coexisted with each other and competed for legitimacy. Lenin argued
that this essentially unstable situation constituted a unique
opportunity for the Soviets to seize power by smashing the Provisional
Government and establishing themselves as the basis of a new form of
state power

Social AnarchismSocial anarchismSocial anarchism (sometimes referred to as socialist anarchism or
anarcho-socialism)[1] is a non-state form of socialism[2] and is
considered to be the branch of anarchism that sees individual freedom
as being dependent upon mutual aid.[3]
Social anarchist thought emphasizes community and social equality as
complementary to autonomy and personal freedom.[3] They also advocate
the conversion of present-day private property into social property or
the commons, while retaining respect for personal property.[4] The
term is used to describe those who—contra anarchist
individualism—place

Anarcho-syndicalismAnarcho-syndicalismAnarcho-syndicalism (also referred to as revolutionary syndicalism)[1]
is a theory of anarchism that views revolutionary industrial unionism
or syndicalism as a method for workers in capitalist society to gain
control of an economy and, with that control, influence broader
society. Syndicalists consider their economic theories a strategy for
facilitating worker self-activity and as an alternative co-operative
economic system with democratic values and production centered on
meeting human needs.
The basic principles of anarcho-syndicalism are solidarity, direct
action (action undertaken without the intervention of third parties
such as politicians, bureaucrats, and arbitrators) and direct
democracy, or workers' self-management

Veganarchism
The anarchist philosophical and political movement has some
connections to elements of the animal liberation movement. Many
anarchists are vegetarian or vegan (or veganarchists) and have played
a role in combating perceived injustices against animals. They usually
describe the struggle for the liberation of non-human animals as a
natural outgrowth of the struggle for human freedom.[2]Contents1 Origins1.1

AnarchyAnarchyAnarchy is the condition of a society, entity, group of people, or a
single person that rejects hierarchy.[1][2] Colloquially, it can also
refer to a society experiencing widespread turmoil and collapse. The
word originally meant leaderlessness, but in 1840 Pierre-Joseph
Proudhon adopted the term in his treatise
What Is Property? to refer
to a new political philosophy: anarchism, which advocates stateless
societies based on voluntary associations. In practical terms, anarchy
can refer to the curtailment or abolition of traditional forms of
government and institutions

Affinity Group
An affinity group is a group formed around a shared interest or common
goal, to which individuals formally or informally belong. Affinity
groups are generally precluded from being under the aegis of any
governmental agency, and their purposes must be primarily
non-commercial. Examples of affinity groups include private social
clubs, fraternities, writing or reading circles, hobby clubs, and
groups engaged in political activism.
Some affinity groups are organized in a non-hierarchical manner, often
using consensus decision making, and are frequently made up of trusted
friends. They provide a method of organization that is flexible and
decentralized

Anarcho-primitivismAnarcho-primitivismAnarcho-primitivism is an anarchist critique of the origins and
progress of civilization. According to anarcho-primitivism, the shift
from hunter-gatherer to agricultural subsistence gave rise to social
stratification, coercion, alienation, and overpopulation.
Anarcho-primitivists advocate a return of non-"civilized" ways of life
through deindustrialization, abolition of the division of labor or
specialization, and abandonment of large-scale organization
technologies.
Many traditional anarchists reject the critique of civilization while
some, such as Wolfi Landstreicher, endorse the critique but do not
consider themselves anarcho-primitivists

Classless SocietyClassless societyClassless society refers to a society in which no one is born into a
social class. Such distinctions of wealth, income, education, culture,
or social network might arise and would only be determined by
individual experience and achievement in such a society.
Codere defines social class as a segment of the community, the members
of which show a common social position in a hierarchical ranking.[1]
Codere suggest that a true class-organized society is one in which the
hierarchy of prestige and status is divisible into groups each with
its own social, economic, attitudinal and cultural characteristics and
each having differential degrees of power in community decision.[1]
However class organised societies rarely follow this structure,
suggesting that a classless society might be better.
Since determination of life outcome by birth class has proved
historically difficult to avoid, advocates, such as anarchists,
communists, etc

Class Conflict
Class conflict, frequently referred to as class warfare or class
struggle, is the tension or antagonism which exists in society due to
competing socioeconomic interests and desires between people of
different classes. The view that the class struggle provides the lever
for radical social change for the majority is central to the work of
communist
Karl MarxKarl Marx and the anarchist Mikhail Bakunin.
Class conflictClass conflict can take many different forms: direct violence, such as
wars fought for resources and cheap labor; indirect violence, such as
deaths from poverty, starvation, illness or unsafe working conditions;
coercion, such as the threat of losing a job or the pulling of an
important investment; or ideologically, such as with books and
articles
